#SOTD: 5/13/2018 - “Mother of a Shave” Pre: Hot shower Brush: Scott Pavkovich “Ghost Trails” 3-band Silvertip Soap: @whollykaw “Monaco Royale” Razors: @blacklandrazors Blackbird and Dart w/ @personnablades Lab Blue Post: @soapcommander “Integrity” Aftershave balm & “Fougere Royale” EdP from @houbigant_paris What a wonderful shave today! I got the Blackbird back in the den and it came along with some Wholly Kaw, which I’ve never tried (Thanks, @jakemaranto15!). I decided to do an apples to apples comparison between the Blackbird and the Dart. Both are incredibly smooth shavers and very well put together. If I were to draw a comparison, here’s what it would be. Both have some great blade feel. On a 1-10 scale, I’d put the Blackbird at an 8 for amount of blade felt, and the Dart at around 6-6.5. The Dart definitely feels less “angled” than the Blackbird, which is probably more of a preference thing. Another interesting feature is that with the Dart, the safety bar extends so far out to the ends of the razor that it allows an incredible amount of flow-through. I felt like I could just keep shaving forever without having to rinse it. It’s enough that it could encourage me to develop some bad habits. 😜 Both of these razors are incredibly well put together and I’m VERY glad I got to try out the Dart. I’ll definitely be picking one up. Now it will be on to the next guy! #BeSmooth and #shaveitup, everyone! #wetshaving #wetshaveloyalists #whollykaw #monacoroyale #blacklandrazors #blackbird #dart #stainlesssteel #derazor #headshave #shavedhead #shavelikeaman #thecleanshaver
